Album US 2014 on Greenleaf Music label
Jazz (Contemporary Jazz)
Present Joys brings Dave Douglas and Uri Caine together for an intimate but exploratory outing inspired by the Sacred Harp tradition. The pair take on four pieces from the shape-note tunebooks as well as several new Douglas compositions undertaken in the same vein. The Sacred Harp, Ye Olde New-England Psalm-Tunes, The Southern Harmony and Musical Companion: each collection is a window into a distant musical era. Reprinted numerous time since the 17th century, they preserve a uniquely original American musical idiom. Truly American treasures, these "tunebooks" from the basic repertoire for countless musical groups and keep the tradition of "shape-note" singing alive. Numbered limited-edition 180-gram vinyl in an edition of 500.
